- CNF is used as the carbon material
- CNT is used as the fibrous carbon added as the binder to the composite material.
- Example 12 the thickness of the sheet composites formed in Example 4 were each set.
- Example 12 and Comparative Example 9 Charge and discharge measurement at an electrode potential of 1.0 to 3.0 V and a C rate of 200 C was performed on cells of Example 12 and Comparative Example 9 prepared as such, and results as shown in Figure 7 were obtained.
- Figure 7 shows the capacity utilization vs. the thickness of the sheet composite and the coating layer.
- Figure 7 is a rate property comparison between Example 12 and Comparative Example 9.
- Example 12 shows a higher evaluation in rate property.
- the thickness of the sheet composite when the thickness of the sheet composite is less than 20 ⁇ m, the effect of adding CNT as the binder will become less. On the other hand, when the thickness of the sheet composite is greater than 50 ⁇ m, the rate property will be reduced as shown in Figure 7 .
- a sheet composite as well as an electrode and an electrochemical element employing the sheet composite having high rate property can be formed regardless of the thickness of the sheet composite. Further, in light of the rate property, it is seen that the thickness of the sheet composite is desirably 20 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of the sheet composite is 20 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m in light of this rate property and the energy density of Figure 6 .
- an electrochemical element employing a sheet composite having high rate property can be formed regardless of the thickness of the sheet composite. Further, regarding charge and discharge measurement at 100 C, it is seen that high energy density is also retained when the thickness of the sheet composite is 20 ⁇ m to 60 ⁇ m.
